Weekend Film Picks

I didn’t realize how weird the last weekend was until I thought of the films I preferred watching from Friday to Sunday. I really don’t know what I was thinking, but these are the movies that occupied my weekend, watched in THAT order.

1. Nim’s Island

Despite several curious situations in this film, I still liked it!

It’s about an 11-year-old girl named Nim (Abegail Breslin) who lives in an isolated island with her microbiologist dad Jack (Gerard Butler). As far as she could remember, after her mother died, the island has been her home. Everyday is an adventure for Nim. For friends, she has a sea lion named Selkie, an iguana named Fred and a pelican called Galileo. She has a very healthy imagination and her favorite books are those adventure stories written by her favorite author, Alex Rover (who is Alexandra Rover in real life—played by Jodie Foster). When her father goes missing from one of his research, Nim is left all alone in their island. For some twist of fate, she is able to exchange e-mails with her favorite author. Alexandra, on the other hand, realizing that Nim is just a little girl who needs her help. Alexandra, came to the rescue, yes, but with much effort and misadventures.

i saw the pianist a long, long time ago. very good film, indeed. roman polanski is a very good filmmaker despite his troubles with the authorities in the US because of some past indiscretion.

in “the virgin suicides” which incidentally is set in michigan— sofia coppola’s just being true to her pedigree. i’m sure her father francis ford coppola is so proud of her. i also like her “lost in translation”

Salve: i completely agree with you, mitsuru. i haven’t sofia coppola’s marie antoinette. i don’t know if its as good as her first two films.

I’m done watching The pianist. It’s great really.
You know I dont find it weird that you have watched all those films in that weekend. I could imagine how much you love films.Ansarap mong kaibigan, mag-eenjoy ako sau. Definitely,I will be going to watch the rest of the films in your list. Maybe this friday. Makikigaya ako.
By the way Salve, sa Island Garden City of Samal (Davao) yung nasa picture ng blog ko that you find beautiful. You are right, maganda talaga ‘dun.
